A Relatable but Slow-Paced Adventure.
Buckle up, Stranger Things fans! Suyi Davies takes us on a journey into the mind of our Lucas Sinclair in “Lucas on the Line.”
The book shines a spotlight on Lucas’s inner thoughts and struggles, giving us a deeper understanding of this fan-favorite character. Davies does an excellent job of exploring the challenges of identity, friendship, and finding one’s place in the world. It’s refreshing to see Lucas take center stage and grapple with issues that many teenagers can relate to.
However, the story starts off a bit slow, and it’s not until the chilling events of Chrissy’s death (which ties into Season 4 of the show) that the excitement really kicks into gear. Until then, the book primarily focuses on the “monsters” of high school – bullies, racism, and the struggle to fit in. While these themes are essential and well-executed, some readers may find themselves yearning for more supernatural thrills and Upside Down adventures.
Overall, “Lucas on the Line” is a delightful read for Stranger Things enthusiasts who want to dive deeper into Lucas’s psyche. Davies’s writing style is engaging and captures the spirit of the show perfectly. While the pacing may be a bit slow for those seeking constant action, the book offers a refreshing perspective on one of our favorite characters. Sit back, grab some Eggo waffles, and enjoy this entertaining glimpse into the life of Lucas Sinclair.
